IGT—M-P Series™ Blackjack
Imagine up to 10 players wagering as many as three hands each on a single blackjack game. Impossible? Not for the M-P Series™ Blackjack game from IGT. The newest addition to the M-P Series library of games easily handles the task with high entertainment value for players and low overhead costs for the operator. Players sit in comfort at individual player stations and place bets on 23-inch touchscreen LCDs. An animated dealer facilitates the game on a large-format LCD viewable by all players. The camaraderie of a live table game combined with the ease of wagering makes M-P Series Blackjack a great choice for both skilled and novice players. Two optional side bets, Upcard Luck and Hot Streak, add even more depth for skilled players. The game offers operators a number of configurable options, including the number of decks, as well as the length of time allowed for game decisions and types of bets allowed (splits, double down, surrender, etc.). Virtual cards and chips eliminate recurring operating costs and limited maintenance on the M-P Series hardware makes this setup an easy keeper. Whether installed in a slot-only jurisdiction or in casinos already approved for live table games, the M-P Series Blackjack game offers both players and operators what they want.

IGT—Texas Hold’em Xtreme™ on the DTS-X Table
Many poker players enjoy the social interaction of a live game. Operators appreciate the low overhead of video poker—no cards, chips or dealers to supply. The new DTS-X table with Texas Hold’em Xtreme™ game combines the best of both styles for an exciting new way to play. Bets are placed on one of eight 15-inch touchscreen LCDs and displays are conveniently slanted for discreet viewing. Players follow game play on their own displays or the 40-inch center display. All displays feature graphics-rich animation. Each player station at the 6-inch by 8-inch table comes equipped with its own bill acceptor, ticket printer and beverage holder. The laminate top makes for easy cleaning while the soft rubber bumper adds to the players’ comfort. Because the DTS-X table supports full Slot Accounting System (SAS) connectivity, a player tracking card reader may also be installed at each player station. Texas Hold’em Xtreme is a fresh version of the classic poker game. It can be configured for tournament or regular game play. The DTS-X table can operate as a stand-alone table, added to an existing pit or used to create an entire poker pit. The DTS-X table and the Texas Hold’em Xtreme game are now paired up to offer both players and operators the ultimate poker experience. For more information, visit www.igt.com.
